Conductivities of the electrolytes NaBr, NaPi, HPi, NaBPh4, and Ph4PBr in ethane- 1,2-diol were determined in the −10 ≤ t ≤ +80 °C temperature range. The experimental data were analyzed by the Fuoss–Hsia equation, which provides further informative parameters such as the dissociation constant (K) of the ion pairs formed in solution, the limiting equivalent conductivity (Λ0), and the ion-size parameter (å). Thermodynamic behaviour of these electrolytes was derived from analysis of the K values. Single-ion conductivities were evaluated on the basis of the assumption of Ph4PBPh4 as reference electrolyte.
